Khasiin Khuleguud (Mongolian: Хасын Хүлэгүүд; lit. 'Khas Broncos'), internationally known as Xac Broncos,[1] is a Mongolian professional basketball team based in Ulaanbaatar.[2] Founded in 2004, the team plays in The League, the country's premier level basketball league and has won nine [3] championships over its history.
History
Xac Broncos was established in 2004 with the support of XacBank. They have been playing in The League since its inception.[4] As of 2022, the team has also won seven Yanztai Upper League championships, most in the history of the league.[5]
Broncos men's team won the championship of the 2023–24 season.[6] Following the team's 4–1 win over Tenuun Olziy Metal in the Finals, Broncos' player Divine Myles was named the Final MVP.[7] As result of the championship, the team entered the 2024 Basketball Champions League Asia qualifiers.[8]
In 2024-2025 season, Broncos won their ninth title, second consecutive championship in the Mongolian league, earning the team qualification for 2025-26 East Asia Super League (EASL) in the process.[9] This was despite the replacement of Zeljko Vasiljevic by Ariunbold Erdene as the head coach mid-season prior to the semifinals.[10] They are the first Mongolian team to play in the EASL.[11]
They also went on to win the 2025 Basketball Champions League Asia – East tournament with Ian Bennett Miller named as Most Valuable Player.[12] Taking part as the Chinggis Broncos, the team failed to defend their title, settling for a bronze medal in the 2026 BCL–East.[13]
